Mass spectrometry is used to evaluate the occurrence of thio-enol structures among the several possible tautomers of thiohydantoins and dithiohydantoins. Mass spectra of differently-substituted thiohydantoins are examined looking for common mass spectral behaviors to be predicted. Ion fragmentations from specific tautomers allow the most stable thio-enol structure for both type of compounds. The mass spectrum of the alkylation product of 5,5-dimethyldithiohydantoin and the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the alkylation products of both 2-thiohydantoin and dithiohydantoin support the fact that the most likely thio-enol structure is determined by the presence of one or two thio-carbonyl groups in the hydantoin molecule.

Mass spectrometry is used to evaluate the occurrence of the nitrile-ketenimine tautomerism. Mass spectra of two differently substituted nitriles, ethyl-4,4-dicyano-3-methyl-3-butenoate and diethyl-2-cyano-3-methyl-2-pentenodiate are examined looking for common mass spectral behaviors. Ion fragmentation assignments for specific tautomers allow to predict the presence of the corresponding structures. Additionally, the mass spectrum and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of ethyl-4,4-dicyano-2,2-diethyl-3-methyl-3-butenoate and that of the corresponding amination product support the occurrence of the ketenimine tautomer in the equilibrium.

A minor phospholipid designated as PL5, assumed to be a precursor of phospholipid biosynthesis, was isolated from Methanohacterium thermautotrophicum. The structures of this lipid and another closely related phospholipid (PL4) were elucidated by infrared spectra, fast atom bombardment mass spectra, 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, and chemical and enzymatic analyses. These lipids were identified as archaetidic acid (PL5) and caldarchaetidic acid (PL4) (diether and tetraether analogues of phosphatatidic acid, respectively).Key words: archaetidic acid, caldarchaetidic acid, Methanohacterium thermautotrophicum, archaebacterium, ether lipid.

The proton-noise-decoupled 13C N.M.R. spectra of sporidesmin and sporidesmin-D are presented. The detailed assignments were worked out from the undecoupled spectrum of sporidesmin-D. The 3-methyl resonance moved downfield (by 7.3 ppm) upon cleavage of the -S-S- bridge in sporidesmin while the peaks of the two quaternary carbons to which the sulphurs are bound moved upfield (by 4.7 ppm). Lactam N-methyl and indoline N-methyl proton resonance decoupling showed that their p.m.r. assignments should be reversed. The electro-negativity of nitrogen, sulphur and carbonyl groups increased the coupling constants of the 3-CH3 by 7Hz and of the 11-CH by 10 Hz. The carbon of the lactam N-methyl was shielded by 14 ppm. There were six three-bond couplings, four HCN13C and two HCO13C, evident but no non-aromatic HCC13C couplings.

The isolation and structure determination of arthrographol (1) is described. This substituted dihydrobenzofuran is the compound responsible for the antagonism shown by the newly described fungus Arthrographis pinicola Sigler and Yamaoka towards some blue stain fungi. The 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, infrared and ultraviolet spectra, and the mass spectrum of arthrographol and its diacetyl derivative are reported. The inhibitory activity of arthrographol against Ophiostoma clavigerum (≡Ceratocystis clavigera) is described. Arthrographol, a new natural product, appears to be a norheptaketide related to known benzofurans of fungal origin. Key words: antifungal compound, structure of arthrographol, norheptaketide, blue stain fungus, Arthrographis pinicola.
